[Epic 4G Android Development] ZeppelinJ0:
One year in College we took a road trip to South Padre Island, Texas for spring break. It was myself, my friends Amy, Peter, Pat, Tommy, Johnny and little Eric. We'd been planning this lovely little trip for a long time and couldn't wait to get out in the sun, take all of our clothes off and get some sunshine on our genitals.

Anyways we get there and the weather sucks, it was cold and rainy, very windy and not at all conducive to genital tanning. Johnny came up with the idea to head back to the room, play some drinking games and get ready to go out to the bars to get ****faced and try and see if any of us get date raped.

So we go back to the room and start playing games and drinking, Amy starts funneling and suddenly the shots come out. We all proceed to get just a stupid amount of drunk, like the level of drunk that even in your obliterated state you're ashamed to admit.

At this point I'm trying to type out a text on my phone which just isn't happening and suddenly I realize I'm going to puke... but oh no! The bathroom is taken by another puker! So I try to stumble over to the sink to ralph, but can't quite make it and unleash absolute hell all over this counter-top; hell being our earlier fried haddock and coleslaw dinner. Also I had dropped my phone in the exact same spot that my subsequent vomit ultimately spewed over, but this fact hadn't quite registered. Still being too drunk move I continue to unload on the same spot.

Eventually Little Eric comes out of the bathroom, just having finished his own disaster and comes to see what I'm doing when he sees what happened to me and catches a waft of old haddock and immediately pukes allll over my previous mess. Now my phone is covered in 2 peoples puke but none of us notice.

The smell is pretty bad at this point when Johnny stumbles over from the bedroom to see what these two idiots are doing. He catches a waft and also immediately starts puking on our combined puke mess, further covering my old Razr phone in puke.

I didn't discover my poor phone until the next morning in the worst hungover stage of my life. There was no recovering this thing; we immediately hurled it off a balcony for giggles.

So the moral of this whole story is: Yes, you should flash the EC05 modem.

I had Bonsai, and even on conservative, didn't get as good of battery as I have now with SFB. I have moderate-heavy usage leaving me with still 40-45% at the end of the day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Plus if you run it at ondemand at 1GHZ, which is undervolted to save battery, its a win-win giving good performance plus battery life. That's how I do it :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, exactly right :) Although there ought to be a nice little feature in the upcoming rom's kernel that saves you from having to do that ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Oh nice! Keeping my eyes peeled for this one lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
First of all, forgive me. I have only had this phone for just over a month and before that had never done any of this stuff because I came from a very old Blackberry. So, very newbie here.

That said, am I missing something? The thread i see from k0nane with the EC05 modem says that it is not EXT4 compatible? Then I see that people are using it with SRF 1.0.2 and it leaves me with a question. What do I do on mine being that I am on EXT 4? I can do it, I just need to know what I need.

And to the college spring break trip post. Great story. I can realate from my younger years, but I am 46 now and my wife and I are taking our 8 and 13 y/o kids on a spring break trip to Washington DC. Not going to be much partying unfortunately, but we will be relying on this phone a lot.

So forgive the potentially stupid questions. I am learning and try to help where I can from my experiences of success through failure. LOL

Thanks guys! I have never before seen people who literally give away such awesome work as this. You all are awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
The EC05 rom is RFS only. You don't want to flash that, you want to ODIN the EC05 modem only :D And no problem, we're here to help, and we appreciate the support from users such as yourself :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
What settings are recommended in Odin to accomplish this & can the EC05 modem be extracted & packaged as a seperate .zip to flash as an update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Must be ODINed. Place the modem.tar in the phone slot, and put your phone into download mode and plug it it. Hit start :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Same. I'm actually running CyanogenMod right now because it is more stable.

Every time tethering reboots my phone it gets corrupted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Then don't use a tethering app that is in prebeta mode ;) That's not the rom's fault, that's the error of an app that a user wants to use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
worked perfectly! thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
When the new EC05 ROM is out, won't the EC05 modem be baked in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem! :D

For the stock rom, most likely, for this one, I'm not sure
[Epic 4G Android Development] mtwow789:
Hi,

I have just recently updated from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 today.

I noticed that hardware keyboard is laggier than before. I am wondering if anybody also feels the hardware keyboard is lagging?

Of course I wiped the phone many times. I also reflashed three times.

Before the key response was almost instant. But now I can feel the lag between key press and font displaying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcdavid:
Yeah . . I meant for the EX05 SRF. I'm hoping it is baked in. I don't want to have to use odin to do anything, unless I am having problems, which I am not.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
We are working on getting the keyboard fix back in ;) We had to take it out as it was causing some issues.

We'll have to wait and see then :) I'm sure k0 will let us know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mtwow789:
I just found funny thing about my hardware keyboard.

When I press "a" and then "h" repeatedly really fast, volume increases even I didn't touch the vlume rocker. Anyone can reproduce this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Nope, on 1.0.1 still though
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
To Impaler747,

I looked through all the previous posts and found the link on page 397 that you posted for the sprint apps. However the link is dead. Can you post it on dropbox again with a good link? Is it also possible you guys can update the top thread to say where the mirror is for the sprint removed apps (pg 397), samsung stock clock .apk (pg 400) ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] aikonix:
I'd also agree with him, mines been going the same thing
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I am experiencing video lag watching some mkv files on 1.0.2. I may have to go back to a previous version. Could it be a kernel issue? Cpu scaling issue? please advise.

Edit: Seems to be happening with watching videos on bluetooth with a2dp. Any ideas how to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
I'm using the included app. In 101 and 102 it just boot loops whenever I try tethering. I don't get 4g in cyanogen, but the pre11 build works perfectly for 3G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalel_293:
weird thing just happened...my batt was charged to50%...i rebooted my phone then all of a sudden my batt is showing 16%..

Anyone able to get words with friends working? The ad blocker messes it up and wont let me get to the main screen.

Can we get a version of this without the kernel for those of us who are having problems with the kernel failing to boot?

edit: Never mind, I see what you mean about the zImage file. Can I just remove it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
Tried reproducing, and I did... the cause was the way I was holding the phone, my middle finger on my left hand was inadvertently hitting volume up ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZephyrFox:
Woke up this morning and phone was mostly fine, other than the little bugs that I've gotten used to. First incoming call of the day and the phone goes haywire. FCs all over the place and no longer recognizes my SD card. It reboots and freezes on boot anim. I haven't had an improper shutdown prior to this but I'm pretty sure I'm screwed now since journaling is disabled. Pull the battery and reboot and sure enough, tons of FCs. I pull the SD card to make a copy of the contents before reflashing. Plug the SD card into my reader and it is not recognized. Whatever this ROM did, it wiped the SD card. I leave the card alone, hoping that maybe the phone will recognize it. I do the wipes and flash the ROM 3 times just to be sure. Put in the SD card and cross my fingers but nope, phone just detects an unformatted card.

I would really like to use this ROM but it isn't ready yet. The little glitches and instability issues, in addition to the possibility of randomly losing my SD card data just makes it unusable right now. Hope things will be fixed soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Ok thanks, once thats done I was gonna install this rom on my phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Flashed this rom last nite along with ec05 modem. I am having battery drain problem today. Its already down to 75% in lil over 3 hours and I have barely used the phone. What you guys suggest? I looked in spare parts and i dont see anything unusual eating up my batter. I did clear batt. stats in morning after charging while on, off, on again and clearning stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Im having the exact same issues. especially the phone suddenly bugging out and rebooting but unable to get 4g to work and wifi freezes up. Lots of fc this morning to. I've re flashed this rom 3 times so not sure whats up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tirregius:
This ROM has been perfectly stable and reliable for me and many many other users. To say that it isn't ready yet based upon your issues is simply uninformed. It should be obvious that you phone's behavior is not on par with what should happen upon installation. Reflashing these devices has the inherent risk that the process could contain error(s), and that goes for ALL ROMs. Small voltage variations on the USB or some timing glitch while flashing can cause problems. It is risky business on some level. That's why it is a good idea to back up everything and make sure you are not leaving anything out of the process, compatibilty wise.

"Whatever this ROM did ...." ... this ROM doesn't corrupt SD cards ... but bad flashes can. GL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
Mine rebooted yesterday and no data corruption here. I have only had it happen once or twice
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
what is running % and screen on % in spare parts?

I've been battling this problem for weeks and dammit I'm going to beat it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Running 26.5%, Screenon 8.1%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZephyrFox:
I've reflashed multiple times and I'm fully aware of the potential issues, which is why I did have backups available. There are clearly multiple issues- this thread and many of the responses are evidence of that. Some people have been lucky and avoided issues and some people have been unlucky and had nothing but problems. The biggest problem I have is that no one seems to be investigating these issues other than saying 'try a different cable' or 'reflash', which smacks of old Microsoft-esque PR.

In terms of the ROM wiping the SD card, what else can you call it? I've received calls in the past on it without issue. Today, I receive an incoming call and the phone stops working and my SD card is wiped. That isn't a flash issue.

Would you use a OS installation on your computer for which nearly every solution was reformat and try again? Sorry, this is a good try but it isn't a daily driver yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I think that if ACS enabled journaling, 99% of the corruption would be fixed. I had ZERO issues with Syndicate ROM on DI07 and it was a fast ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skyheli:
Thanks for the info... I flashed EC05 and all is well... I really want to thank you for taking the time to answer questions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mister2quick:
I don't know if you might be interested, but the only thing I would as to include in the next update is the Galaxy Tab email application.

For us "corporate" users, it is much more user friendly and plays VERY nice with exchange. Unlike the stock Froyo one. The one I use is found here
[Epic 4G Android Development] fczeuner:
Zero problems here. I disagree I feel this is the best rom I've ever had on my phone. Now that I know, I can't pull the battery without shutting down first,I haven't had any issues at all. The new EC05 fixed ask my data problems. Pulled 5115kbs on 4g on speed test while at work yesterday. Wireless tether works. Im delighted, couldn't be happier
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
So, the phone works and it says that it's on EC05, but I put the modem.tar file in the PDA section. Obviously it took, but did I mess anything up by doing that?

Thanks for all the help. We who don't know really appreciate everything that those of you who do, do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zenvita:
That has happened to me a few times. which battery were you using? stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalel_293:
yup...stock batt...i restarted again and this time it said 29%...never happened before...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Tried using 4g tether and now stuck in a fc loop
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Happens to me all the time on both stock batteries. Usually if you plug it in, it will charge back up to where it originally was very fast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
For those of you who keep insisting about journaling...take a step back for a second and look at the last, oh I don't know, 30 pages of this thread. theimpaler and k0 both answer just about every single question asked, outside journaling questions.

Now, either they're somehow missing every single post that coincidentally has "journaling" in it, or they're not going to enable it so stop asking. Who knows, they keep talking about a nice surprise for release 1.1, so maybe that's it.

Either way, I would stop asking about it as it's quite obvious they're not going to answer it. If it's not in 1.1, then you have two options: move to another ROM or deal with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We've just been a bit too busy replying to other questions to post a long diatribe on journaling. ;)

I'm considering either an RFS version or a journaling-enabled version of 1.1.0.
[Epic 4G Android Development] talliwackr:
It's not just Exchange, it's all email types with this Email.apk

I uninstalled it with Titanium, copied http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775007&page=11 this Email.apk to /system/app and had no problems, although it's the older version.

I then uninstalled this Email.apk, extracted the Email.apk from the SyndicateROM's zip, and again copied to /system/app -- and again FCs

If this is related to a flashing procedure that most of us are doing, it seems to be only affecting that one (important imo) .apk

*shrugs* This is the extent of my Android knowledge, sadly, I'll just use the old working version for now :) Still love the ROM though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] riceknight:
Hmm... me too. Very odd since I haven't had any other problems with other programs. I've tried clearing and reinstalling as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZHkilla:
Yes start up sound is blocked.

@ riceknight- had it happen, reboot seeemed to clear up and hasn't happened since. Will keep watching it

Guys,

Tried re-odining to CW3 embedded rom, no dice

Tried re-odining to stock, no dice

Tried re-odining to deodexed stock w/o cw3, no dice.

I don't think the email fc's have anything to do with what rom you came from.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
When I reflashed to fix my market not downloading I now have the same fc's everyone else is having with the email application.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
hmmmmm we will have the devs look into, I can't recreate the problem on my device. Hang in, we will figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshk89:
This rom is to legit, good work guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gorby911:
Confirm same experience here. Thank you for looking into this!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Ok thanks for the response. Hopefully they will be added sometime in the future. Still an awesome Rom. Super fast and smooth.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
First off, I totally wiped my device 3x and cleanly started over from scratch for this rom to avoid FC's etc.

Rom is super speedy, however I am getting weird FC's with my XScope Pro browser, I noticed above some people having difficulties with Dolphin browser as well.

Update: I have a re-creatable example. In Widget Locker if I add a "custom slider" and then click the "Get Themes" link, I choose xScope Pro, select XDA Themes entry from the website, and then finally select the xda-developers link within the post it starts to load the page, then FC's xScope Pro browser every time, and it has never done this to me before this rom. I have also tried going straight to xda-developers and I get the same thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
yes, i believe that's the one! it was labeled Black Gloss in the Syndicate Shuriken thread, and clicking the link brought me here:

I always put Dolphin HD in /system/app folder,now i get fc when running Dolphin HD after about 30 seconds or so.I never got that on any other rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Try deleting it from /system/app and putting it in /data/app. May fix the issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
For those of you who are having issues with dolphin browser. Do a clean install from the market, reboot the phone. If you still expirence FC's report back.

I have been unable to recreate errors with above steps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdf:
Well Crap! is it worth it to load it them rebuild my whole phone? I guess I could use back up pro, Titanium never works right for me.

BD
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
This ROM is quick, certainly faster than stock EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nanncee:
I was successful in using mybackup root to back up and restore my settings and a few apps. BUT everytime you do that, you run the risk of causing FC and errors. So use at your own risk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] talliwackr:
Okay one last update, I tried using the Email.apk from midNIGHT 4.0, thinking it may be linked to the apk from this ROM, midNIGHT's is .21MB larger, so what the hell... anyways it also FCs, so it's probably related to the base Email.apk that these are probably built from.

I tried to deodex that apk from the eb13 stock, but for whatever reason that particular odex wouldn't deodex with the deoall.bat, a bunch of the others did so I don't know why! I tried! :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Update 2: I am also experiencing my phone locking up and me having to pull the battery if I power off while my phone is still plugged in. the Stand By battery icon appears but then the spiral ticker in the center of the battery freezes and I have to pull the battery to turn the phone back on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Youre right best rom on her.Plus pulling battery without turning off the phone is always a bad idea even with journaling enabled because there is always a chance for data loss.Batter pull shold only be done when there is no other way out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
Awesome! That will fix my GF's FC issues whenever the phone dies before getting a chance to shutdown. It sucks having to restore from backup every time you get corruption, especially if you're out and about and your friends ask you what you're doing to your phone. Then you have to explain them you're running a hardcore super fast on the edge ROM and the files got corrupted so you're in the process of restoring from a backup image. Then they say they're glad they got an Iphone!

LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Fsckin' iPhone users. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
I've had a couple apps freeze the phone completely, had to pull the battery... having journaling is not a perfect solution but helps as having to restore every thime is a pain.

This ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
I hope you include a version with journaling dissabled in next release.

I been running Syndicate roms since eclair and never had data loss problems and I did have few battey pulls on first buggy version but never had data loss.

Plus journaling is only dissabled on phone partitions and not on sdcard so it got nothing to do with sdcard's data loss.Because sdcard can be formated with Ext from cwm and Fat and ntfs from windows.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I thought journaling on wrote like bad blocks or something,

or it just has to do with speed??

Also i got a question, if i power off first, via shutdown menu then launch clockwork via 4 button method while its off, is this just as safe as the 3 button method considering the phone is off, i was rebooting the other day with the 3 button method and caused my phone to bootloop the animation screen, so now in case it happens again like mysteryzemotionz said i got my titatanium back up schedule to back up every night. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:

[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
I've been having the same problem ever since I flashed the EC05 radio. I was getting a good 20+ hours with EB13. Is it just not playing nice with SRF 1.0.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
I would rather have a cutting edge fast as hell ROM with the occasional inconvenience over a slow and stable ROM. And I have had a few reboots without data corruption so far so maybe I am lucking out. Have had to reflash once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SkepticalOptimist:
Journaling can be turned on using tune2fs but I'm not sure of the correct commands. A unix admin friend says it will not wipe the contents the disk/flash when turning journaling on or off, or changing the journal type. I have not had time to try it out yet but from what I understand we would have to use adb to push tune2fs to the phone if it is not there yet. Then use tune2fs with the correct comand line options to turn journaling on. Turning journaling on will slow down the system a little since the OS will be writting to the journal before committing changes to permanent storage but the OS can recover lost data from the journal if you shut down incorrectly. The journaling interval can also be tweaked for performance but setting the write delay too long makes journaling useless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Same here I reather have speed.Its a phone and not a pc,how many times do people experience power loss on a phone?lol.Or need to do a battery pull on a stable rom like this one.
